Interesting Scene in Boxing Day Test: Kohli’s Argument with Debutant Goes Viral!

In the ongoing Boxing Day Test between India and Australia at Melbourne, the home team won the toss and elected to bat first. Notably, 19-year-old Sam Konstas made his debut for Australia in this match. Opening the innings, Konstas showcased remarkable resilience against Indian bowlers, playing aggressive shots from the outset. His boundary-laden innings resembled T20-style batting, with standout moments including innovative scoop and reverse shots against Indian star pacer Jasprit Bumrah.

However, a minor altercation occurred between the debutant and Indian stalwart Virat Kohli. After an over, as Kohli went to collect the ball, he bumped into the spirited batter, sparking a verbal exchange between the two. The incident necessitated intervention from other players and umpires to defuse the situation.

Despite this heated moment, Konstas remained unfazed. Continuing his aggressive approach, he achieved his maiden half-century in just 52 balls. He eventually scored 60 runs off 65 balls before being dismissed.

At the lunch break, Australia was well-placed at 112 runs for the loss of one wicket. Currently, Marnus Labuschagne (38) and Usman Khawaja (12) are at the crease.
